About this map

Clearwater National Forest defines the high-elevation landscape of this 2017 survey, spanning the boundary between Clearwater and Idaho Counties. The area is a network of deep drainage basins and prominent ridgelines, punctuated by landmarks such as Lunde Peak, Moccasin Peak, and the distinctive Devils Chair. The presence of the historic Lolo Trl through the southern portion of the map provides a connection to the centuries-old travel corridor through the Bitterroot Mountains.

Water is the dominant geographic feature, with Horseshoe Lake serving as a focal point among numerous named tributaries including Cayuse Creek, Howard Cr, and Weir Cr. Forest service access is documented through Gravey Creek Rd and various numbered routes like RD 588, which navigate the steep gradients of the Clearwater drainage system. This map captures the region’s topography before contemporary changes in forest management or fire events could alter the backcountry trail and road networks.
